Donald Trump Faces Potential Prison Sentence Amid Multiple Indictments

Experts Debate Safety and Logistical Challenges of Incarcerating a Former President

Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican frontrunner, has been indicted in four separate criminal cases, two by federal authorities and two at the state level.
Charges include orchestrating the payment of hush money to a pornographic actress; mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021; and breaking the law while attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
If convicted, Trump could become the first former U.S. president to be sent to prison, presenting a unique challenge to authorities due to his lifelong Secret Service protection.
Experts suggest Trump could be sent to a maximum-security penitentiary to prevent any attempts by his followers to break him out, but this could pose a risk to his safety and mental health.
Authorities would likely try to keep Trump separate from the main prison population, though he may have some contact with other detainees considered vulnerable to attack.
